Recent
headlines have outlined that an addiction to sugar is just as harmful to us as
an addiction to tobacco. Figures are highlighted in the media on a daily basis,
surrounding the amount of sugar that is present in almost all the foods we eat,
from fruit juices to McDonald’s products.
But how do we
stay clear of these hidden sugars? ‘Half fat’ or ‘reduced fat’ products are
currently being criticised as the reduction in fat is replaced with extra
added sugars for taste.
Mother of two,
Amanda Cable became aware of her family’s sugar intake and decided to make a
radical change. She thought by controlling her son’s food consumption by
substituting sugary cereals and snacks with ‘healthier’ alternatives, would
benefit him. This new regime was scrutinised however, exposing the hidden
sugars that totalled to be almost double than of that in his previous eating
habits.

The
Recommended Daily Allowance for sugar is 90g or 22.5 teaspoons a day and less
for children. Remember: the labels that shout out ‘LOW IN FAT’ or ‘REDUCED
CALORIES’ do not always mean less sugar, so read the product labels to know
what you and your family are consuming!
